Wildflowers are nature's vanity. Showing themselves every year with the wish to attract as many insects and animals as possible to show off their beauty. Each year is a delightful treasure hunt to find the most beautiful.

Henbit (Lamium amplexicaule) is a ubiquitous weed like plant growing low to the ground. This one was photographed at the Silent Valley Club in the San Jacinto Mountains at 3200 feet in early March, 2012. Such an elegant flower for something so small. The flower is probably no taller than 1/2 inch. This plant is very common as ground cover all over the resort. Where common, it is an important nectar and pollen plant for bees, especially honeybees.

Unidentified Lavender Flower found in the rocky river bottom of the Verde River near Cottonwood, Arizona in early April. It folds up a night. The flower stands about 6" tall, has 5 petals, blue anthers with blue pollen, and a single pistal (style) protruding from one side. The leaves are notched and opposite at the bottom of the stem, somewhat like a dandelion grows.
